Monitoring rodents' life history by body temperature and activity

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
European hamster populations are rapidly declining all over their distribution area. One of the suggested reasons is a strong and ongoing decrease in the reproductive output of about 77% since the nineteen twenties. The cause of this decline is, however, unknown.

A comparison of red fox Vulpes vulpes activity and gamebird diet on gamebird release sites and on nearby non‐release areas in southern England

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Driven game shoots in the UK lowlands commonly release several thousand pheasants Phasianus colchicus and red‐legged partridges Alectoris rufa in late summer, which is likely to attract the attention of the main generalist predator, the red fox. Game managers try to protect their releases by culling foxes.

Development of a reliable PCR‐based protocol for molecular sexing of king vultures Sarcoramphus papa

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The king vulture Sarcoramphus papa is a large Neotropical scavenger that lacks external sexual dimorphism, complicating demographic, ecological, and conservation studies. Reliable sex identification is therefore essential, particularly for wild and managed populations. In this study, we assessed and optimized a PCR‐based molecular sexing protocol for S.

Wild Pigs (Sus scrofa) Stand Their Ground: Investigating Flight Response, or Lack Thereof, to Perceived Predation Risk 野猪坚守原地:探究其面对感知捕食风险时的逃逸反应 (或无逃逸行为)

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
We used automated behavioral response systems (ABRs) to assess invasive wild pig (Sus scrofa) behavioral response to four auditory playbacks: humans, coyote vocalizations (Canis latrans), pigs in distress, and barred owl (Strix varia) calls. Wild pigs had a significant flight response to human playbacks, but 68% of pigs did not flee.

Updates on Breeding Success and Conservation Challenges for White‐Rumped Vulture (Gyps bengalensis) in Rampur Valley, Nepal 尼泊尔兰普尔山谷白腰兀鹫繁殖成功研究进展及其保护挑战

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
This study investigates the breeding success of the critically endangered White‐rumped Vulture in Khaireni Community Forest, and examines local knowledge and perceptions toward its conservation. We found that 71% of active nests were successful, with breeding success significantly influenced by the proximity to carcass deposition sites.

Pasteurellosis in Wild Birds in Massachusetts

Avian Diseases, 1967
Epizootics in wild birds have not received adequate attention, a factor which accounts for our lack of knowledge on the natural distribution of some pathogens. Native birds appear to be an important reservoir of Pasteurella multocida. Sporadic or epizootic outbreaks of pasteurellosis in wild birds have been recorded over the past 30 years.
